One-Minute chair test could revolutionize blood clot recovery prediction
NCT ID NCT06166329
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a simple one-minute chair stand test can help doctors predict how well patients will recover from a non-severe pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). Researchers will compare the test results with standard risk scores that use blood tests and heart imaging. If the chair test proves reliable, it could offer a quick, low-cost way to guide treatment decisions for hospitalized patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this simple test could become a standard tool to quickly assess recovery risk in pulmonary embolism patients without needing extra blood tests or scans.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, single-center study with only 180 participants. The test may not prove accurate enough to replace current risk scores, and results may not apply to all patients.
